The NJ-based dream-pop band Lunch Ladies have released the fourth and final single off of their forthcoming debut album, ‘Down on Sunset Strip’. It’s called Lazy and you can stream it via Soundcloud below.
The band’s Matt Whitley (guitar, vox) shared, “Lazy is just about being lonely and trapped inside my own head and my room. Constantly overthinking and drowning in anxiety that causes me to stay in bed and not leave my house. I’ve spent a lot of time fighting that away, and that’s basically what this song is about.”
Growing up along the coast near the beaches of New Jersey, you’re naturally imbued with a particular shade of wistfulness, longing and desire. House shows in Long Branch or New Brunswick, late night dutch coffees at the Inkwell, long drives blasting music with no destinations; these experiences spread out across four seasons influence every artist born and raised in the area in varied ways.
One of the more promising upstarts out of central NJ, Lunch Ladies, package these sentiments with a hazy, dreamy, jangle-pop sound that evokes the golden age of Creation Records. Having made a name for themselves in all of the tri-state DIY circles, Lunch Ladies are now readying the release of their debut full-length, Down on Sunset Strip, out March 10th, 2017 via Good Eye Records.
Consisting of Matt Whitley (vox, guitar), Cynthia Rittenbach (vox, bass), Matt Ramiz (vox, guitar) and Peter Gargano (drums), Lunch Ladies foster a creative dynamic that embraces harmony, in its many forms, with the three vocalists trading lead and support duties across the album’s seven tracks. From the adrenaline rush, ironically, of Lazy to the dreamy balladry of Sad Jeans, the young quartet explores complex emotions across the breadth of their beautiful aural aesthetic.
